Most popular articles from the week of 7-13-2013

Android is about to get (unofficial) support for running nearly any app in a window, sort of the way you would on… Windows. Intel’s upcoming tablet chip gets benchmarked. And the next-generation Google Nexus 7 is coming soon. We think.

Here’s a look back at some of the most popular stories from Liliputing from the week of July 13th through the 19th.

Multi-window support coming to some Android tabletsThe line between Android and Windows is starting to look slimmer and slimmer. New software which appears to be coming from the folks at Chinese chip maker Rockchip lets you run any Android app in a resizeable window that you can move anywhere on the screen you’d like. This might not make a ton of sense for tablet users, but it could really come in handy for Android laptops or TV box/mini computers.

Intel Atom Z3770 Bay Trail chip specs, performance leakedBenchmarks don’t always tell the full story, but in this case the partial story they tell is that Bay Trail chips for tablets will be among the fastest tom processors to date. But they may not be as powerful as recent entry-level chips from AMD.

Rumor/leak: Google’s next-gen Nexus 7 coming July 24thGoogle’s probably going to announce a new 7 inch tablet soon. Asus is probably building it. The tablet will probably run Android 4.3. It might have a higher-resolution screen. It’ll probably have wireless charging. We’ll know more soon.

Nuvola NP-1 is a $299 Android media player with a Tegra 4 chipAndroid TV boxes from relatively unknown Chinese companies tend to sell for around $100 or less. But they also don’t tend to have NVIDIA Tegra 4 processors or support for 4K Ultra HD movies. Nanotech is hoping those features are enough to get you to shell out $299 for the Nuvola NP-1.
